CAP distribution 2.01 is now available.  The major differences in this
distribution are:
  o it now uses the Tappan/BBN routing code for the Kinetics bridge
    Thanks to Dan Tappan for integrating and contributing the code.
  o an experimental version of the AppleTalk Session Protocol is also
    available.
  o ddp now has checksumming available
  o nis has been renamed to the AppleTalk Information Server (atis)
    and incorporates the Tappan/BBN's masterbridge
  o CAP version of efsd now allows a mac to "open" more files than
    available file descriptors.
  o of course, all the previous patches to distribution 2 have been applied.

This release should be of most interest to those with multiple
Seagate/Kinetics bridges or BSD 4.3 systems.  There are outstanding
alignment problems in some of the modules which prevent correct
functioning on machines other than VAX's (and possibly suns); in
particular, there are problems using an IBM RT PC running ACIS 4.2BSD.
Work is in progress to correct these deficencies.

More detailed information is available the files RELEASE and
MODIFICATIONS in the directory US:[US.CCK.CAP.D2.1] on
CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU (128.59.32.134).
